Tommy Harrison has been coming to Nalerigu for a long, long time. I’m talking about over 30 years! He is an amazing example of a follower of Christ who has taken the command to make disciples of all nations seriously.
In recent years, Tommy has been coming out less and for shorter visits. Everyone in town is always asking me when he’ll be here next. Last month Tommy came through for a couple weeks and I was happy to get to spend time with him. There’s so much to be learned from a veteran missionary like him.
The photo above is from when I went out to a village one night to visit old friends of his. He greeted this old man who he had farmed with 30 years ago. Despite the man’s terribly weakened body, he sat sat up and beamed as Tommy greeted him.
